eShakti.com Dress Review!

Summer is coming which means light clothing. I'll sometimes even put on a dress.

eShakti.com has a bunch of nice dresses. You can even customize a dress to your exact measurements. I like this because sometimes I'll get a dress and it won't always hang right on me. Or my boobs will be too small for the dress. Or, okay, the dress won't zip up because I indulged in too much chocolate.

Over at eShakti.com, you imput your measurements and a dress is sent to you with those numbers so it'll be sure to fit.


I really liked the dress I picked out:




It fits like a glove! No loose bits. My boobs weren't too small!

The dress was well made so I know it won't rip easily. It was also shipped quickly.

eShakti.com makes dresses in sizes 0-36W and there are a variety of different styles. If you don't need a dress, check out their skirts and tops. They also make Bridesmaid dresses.

Project 365 - Week 13

Week 13 or Spring Break was a slow week.  We made this week a staycation.  We did not go anywhere and it is just as well because it was cold and dreary.  Hop over to Fran's blog and check out the rest of the gangs offerings.  I know you will enjoy them. 

Sunday, March 24th

Palm Sunday and Easter lilies that have been placed already for next Sunday.  We do a in memory/in honor of concept and people place them in the sanctuary each Palm Sunday though Easter Sunday.  I love how beautiful the flowers are but they tear my allergies up.  Stargazer lilies are the worst.

 

Monday, March 25th

 

Stayed in my jammies all day and worked on taxes.  I need to get them done and to the accountant.

Tuesday, March 26th

 

My new shoes from ebay.  I love them.  They are so comfy.  Frank and I went to see the new Oz movie.  It was ok but definitely not what Safe Haven and Olympus Has Fallen were.  Those two were awesome.

 

Wednesday, March 27th

Today was mani/pedi day at The Mane Event.  Amanda gave me a gift certificate for Christmas and believe me it is the best gift anyone could give me.  Next trip I am having a facial....or maybe a massage.  I love going there....the place smells so relaxing and the ladies who work there are amazing.

 

Thursday, March 28th

 

There is going to be a major yard sale from Alexander City, AL to Franklin, GA up Hwy 22 on April 13th.  I took part of the week to gather some stuff in the house for my part.  We will be yard saling in Roanoke at Mrs. Shirley's antique house.  Frank and I took the stuff down there this week so I won't have to do it all when he is gone on the 13th.  I am so excited.  I am not finished gathering but we took two car loads of stuff.  You would not believe what the HHR can hold.  I love that little car.

 

Friday, March 29th

Sunset from the Towler's yard.  I love the colors.  We had dinner there on Friday night....with "real" food.

 

Saturday, March 30th

We had an egg hunt at the church today.  It was at 2.  Mrs. Betty Jean made the cute little rabbit cake and everyone who ate it said it was delish.  We had about 30 children participating. What great fun!  Hope your week was as restful as mine was.  I just had issues with a little eye allergy going on thanks to some mascara that was not hypo allergenic.  I thought I had pink eye for a while....but the eyes began to clear up after the eyeliner was trashed. 

Frank, Mrs. Betty Jean and Eating "Real" Food

Frank preached Friday at Roanoke First and our ladies provided lunch for the group attending.  We decided on soup and sandwiches.  Our ladies really shine when it comes to providing a meal.  We had Subway sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, vegetable soup, chicken noodle soup, chips, tea, pound cakes.  It was yummy and not much was left.  I am so proud of our women at Rock Mills.  There was a nice crowd and Frank's sermon focused on Jesus' last words, "It is finished." 

Today is Mrs. Betty Jean's birthday so I want to wish her a happy one.  She is a baker extraordinaire and her cakes are the rave of the Roanoke area.  She baked one of the pound cakes for the luncheon yesterday, a cake for a funeral lunch, AND a rabbit cake for the Easter Egg hunt at the church.  Her cake baking skills amaze me!

I got an e-mail from Mrs. Sherry this week that we were gathering on Friday at her house for supper.  We would be eating "real" food.   I laughed out loud and wondered about the "fake" food we have been eating all this time.   I made "the stuff" ( sugar free trifle) and deviled eggs.  I figured those were real foods. We had pork, chicken, zipper peas, Lima beans (yuck), pear salad, deviled eggs, cabbage with sausage, corn bread, and rolls.  Sandra made an Easter cake that was so pretty.   The "real" food was delish.  I love these gatherings.  The company is fun, the fellowshipping is wonderful, and the house always overflows with love.  It in these moments that I feel a sense of peace and feel as if I have lived here forever.  I thank God for bringing us to Rock Mills.  He definitely knew that I needed to be part of this family.

Chuck E Cheese Frightens Me

Masked characters freak me out.

If I can’t see your face, I don’t know what’s going on. This frightens me.

So when my daughter wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese on her birthday, I couldn’t help by cringe.

“Wouldn’t you rather go to McDonalds? Get some McNuggets?” I suggested. Yes, McDonalds is home to Ronald McDonalds who *shudders* has a painted face, but at least I could still SEE it. Plus, he rarely makes an appearance in the actual restaurant anymore. He just pops up on TV. (I miss his pals. Grimace. Hamburglar. Mayor McCheese.)

Natalie shook her head vehemently. “I want Chuck E Cheese!”

So fine. We agreed to take her there. Not for a party, mind you, but for pizza and tokens so she could play the germ riddled games. Not that I’m a germaphobe. I don’t wipe down anything. I just have to wonder how clean some of the games actually get.

Some people will argue that the food at Chuck E Cheese is disgusting. I disagree. I like their pizza. I ate 2 slices. Plus some of the dessert pizza we also got.

Then I trailed behind Natalie as she picked what she wanted to do. She ran to her favorite thing: the horse.



My Mom is a major horse lover, I should mention. She loves to ride, her house is decorated with all sorts of horse stuff, and she even volunteers at a horse place where special needs kids go. She tried so hard to get me to love horses as I grew up but I would always pinch my nose and go, “They stink!” I was petrified to be on top of a horse, so sure that it would sense my fear and buck me off.

But Natalie? She loves horses. She loves to ride. Perhaps my Mom has finally found her horse lover…

Natalie prefers to go on the actual rides than to try and win tickets. Tommy and Daddy concentrate on that part. Could I let her wander on her own? Maybe. But I don’t. I see tiny kids run free and I wonder where their parents are. Some kids behave, others will refuse to get off a ride and give someone else a turn. That’s where I step in and will remove it. I don’t have the patience to argue with a toddler who has no supervision.



One of my favorite things to do at Chuck E Cheese is play skee ball. I try to get Natalie enthused but she’s bored after one game. Me? I could stay there the entire time.



Anyway, Natalie was busy chatting on the phone and the something brushed past me and I almost leaped up on the climbing structure from fear.



It was Chuck E Cheese.

And he had a sign that said, “Follow me for free tickets!”

“Chuck E Cheese! I love him!” Natalie said, hanging up the toy phone. She followed him and said, “I like your pants.” ?

Chuck E Cheese stopped and began to dance. He motioned for all the kids around him to dance too.



He almost got close to me again and I backed up. Who knows what lives under the suit? And, hello, it’s a giant RAT.

He tossed tickets in the air after and the kids all dove for them.

In the end I think we had 300 tickets?

Natalie got a cheap bracelet and a cheap puffy toy.

She loved them and that’s all that matters.

“I’ll see you soon, Chuck E Cheese!” Natalie said when we left.

Hopefully not TOO soon…

Broken…

GO-

Right after Frank and I met a song came out called "Bless the broken road"  I love this song.  It reminds me of Frank and I....and it reminds me of God and I.  My road to God has not always been easy because I have sometimes tried to do it on my own....especially the small stuff.  When I was a child I did set out on a narrow way and my goal, as is the goal of most little girls, was to find true love.  I made some wrong choices but I kept pushing through and eventually I found love (Frank's and God's) along a very broken road.  My road is not always smooth, many times there are cracks that break it, but I am not traveling alone on this road.  God, and Frank, are right there with me.  I am an Easter person.  I love Christmas time but Easter is what it is all about to me.  Christmas is the preparation and Easter is the purpose.  I sing a song occassionally in church called "Broken and Spilled Out."  I love this song and usually cry when I reach the chorus that goes, "Broken and spilled out, just for love of me Jesus,  God's most precious treasure, lavished on me.  Broken and spilled out and poured at my feet, in sweet abandon, Lord you were poured out and used up on me."  The mental visual I get when I hear or sing this song leaves me broken....humbled....and spilled out.

STOP-

Spring/Summer Shoe Pledge

Ok, it is officially Spring and I have worn dark and drab shoes long enough.  It is time to pull out the spring/summer shoes.  I WANT  TO WEAR SANDALS!  I especially want to wear them for Easter but....here in Alabama we have had one of the coldest Spring Breaks ever.  I would swear we were still hunkered down in February.  It has been cold as rip!  BUT...my cousin A gave me a gift card to The Mane Event for Christmas and since we were having a staycation...I decided to get a mani/pedi on Wednesday.  Before I left for my 1:00 appointment I read the Summer Shoe Pledge.  The high today was a balmy 49.  I wore flip flops to the appointment....am I nuts or what????  I bought some new sandals on ebay and am dying to wear them.  I may die IF I wear them....from pneumonia.  The color ladies is Cocktail Hour.

Summer Shoe Pledge:

Please raise your big toes and repeat this pledge for yourself. Remember, no matter how high the temperature soars, putting your best foot forward is always in style:

As a member of the "Toe-Exposing Cute Girl Sisterhood," I pledge to follow these rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and top of my feet will not "pudge-out" between the straps. (I really cannot stand to see toes over the front edge of a shoe....or heels over the back edge.)

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. (I am ashamed to say that my old nail polish looked more like a french manicure....it was gross.)
I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, co-worker, mother or sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial. Rather, I will lean on my good friend, Dr. Scholl's, if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat, and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toe swells and begins to look like Vienna sausages.
I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend, sister and co-worker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good!

One thing I have learned in my life as an adult female.  Take care of your feet and they will take care of you.

P.S.  I am wearing sandals tomorrow.  They go with my dress...and they are new...and it is Spring.  'Nuff said?

Things That Annoy Me Thursday: Texting During Movies

I’ve mentioned this before.

But..

Can someone explain to me WHY people think it’s okay to mess with their phones during a movie?

I’m not talking about a movie in your home.

I’m talking about an actual movie theater.

Tom and I got to see The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and while it was funny, I was distracted because the girl beside Tom kept messing with her phone.

THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MOVIE.

Now, okay, maybe I get it if someone is babysitting your kids and you get a text so you want to check to make sure everything is okay.

But if it’s beyond that? Leave the theater. Go to the hall.

This chick kept checking FACEBOOK. She didn’t look older than 20 so it figures. Her boyfriend kept chuckling as she did it. Had I been with her I’d have told her to put her phone away or else I’d chuck it against the wall.

I told Tom if she had been next to me that I’d have told her to knock it off.

At one point I did go, “That’s REALLY distracting.”

She didn’t care. Bright light from her phone went into my face.

What is WITH the people these days? Where are the manners?

I’d have said more but we were in Texas and lots of people in Texas have guns. One never knows who will use said guns these days so I didn’t want to cause an, ahem, problem.

But seriously, if you’re with someone who messes with their phone during a movie? If they are your friend who you know won’t pull out a weapon? Tell them it’s rude. Tell them that it’s distracting.

If you’re reading this and YOU mess with your phone while seeing a movie in a theater?

Stop it.

You shouldn’t pay to see a movie if you aren’t going to WATCH it.

Watching Movies In Style

“Look. Look. I push this and out comes the recliner,” I told Tom. I stretched my legs out. “And if I get cold?” I pressed the red button. “Warmth!”

Tom chuckled. We were on a date and we were about to see Olympus Has Fallen.

In recliners.

We didn’t have to deal with those regular seats with no heater and no recliners. We didn’t have to worry about parents deciding that it was totally appropriate for their young child to sit through a movie.

“And we get FOOD!” I continued, grabbing the menu.

We were at a theater called The Warren. You can pay extra to have a recliner seat and have food delivered to you. Tom and I usually sit in the balconies, which is exactly what it sounds like—only in that case, you’re still sharing the theater with people down below who think it’s okay to make noises and bring their toddlers to adult movies. In the Director’s Suite (what our room is called) you get your own room. (And your own WAITING room while you sit and mingle while the room is being cleaned.)



Ahh, bliss.

We ordered cheese fries, which are amazing. They aren’t fries covered with that fake orangy cheese. No, it’s real cheese melted on top, as well as bacon crumbles and chives. Plus you get free refills on drinks.

Yes, the price is $22 a seat—but if you go once in awhile, like we do, it’s worth it.

Here is Tom stretched out. Not the best picture because I think he was embarrassed that I was taking photos. But, well, they were fancy seats man.



“Just think, Jay Z probably watches movies like this on a daily basis. In his HOUSE!” I said, astonished.

Oh, to be rich....

And the movie? Olympus Has Fallen? Was actually not that bad. Sometimes I’m not sure about action movies. For instance, I refuse to watch the Die Hard ones. Or GI Joe. I don’t care that someone has amazing abs. I wouldn’t enjoy it.

But Olympus Has Fallen was good. I was entertained on the gigantic screen.

And warm. I tend to get chilled in movie theaters but with the seat warmer, I was toasty.

So if your movie theater has seats like the ones I described, I highly recommend splurging and experiencing them.

Your warm butt will thank you.

Easter Week Hodge Podge

Welcome to the Wednesday Hodgepodge...be sure to add your link before you hop around to the other players today. Also, a reminder that Joyce and the Hodgepodge will be on Spring Break next Wednesday so our next HP will be Wednesday, April 10th.

Wow. Time just went into supersonic mode, didn't it? Here are my answers to Joyce's questions-
Want to participate then click here and get the questions and link up.

1. What are your plans for Easter? Are you cooking a big lunch or dinner? Dyeing eggs? Attending a sun rise service? Eating too much chocolate?
Frank is a pastor so our plans involve loads of church activities.  Friday he is preaching the Good Friday service at First Church in Roanoke.  Our ladies will be providing a light lunch following the service.  Saturday is the egg hunt at the church.  Sunday morning we will be cooking pancakes before daylight and having a sunrise service and then our big service at 11.    We have no plans after church.....yet.  We will probably spend it with friends.
2. What is something you feel too young to do?
Get a senior citizens discount at the movies.  Lagrange theater does not even ask....they just see the white hair and give me a discount.  I am not even close to their senior discount age.

3. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud...it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs..."

Of the characteristics mentioned in the Biblical definition of love, which do you find most difficult to live out and why?

I am going to have to agree with Joyce and say keeps no record.  This is the hardest for me.  Saying I forgive or I am sorry is easy....actually doing it is something else.

4. What's a springtime flower you associate with your childhood?
Iris's and daffodils.  My mom had beds of both.  I remember picking her a bouquet when I was young only to see the shock on her face.

5. Ever sung karaoke? If so what's your go-to song? If not, and given the opportunity, would you?
I have sung karaoke.  I prefer to sing with live music but karaoke is fun sometimes.   Amanda and I sang once and several people brought us the choice book and asked us to just keep picking.  I will sing anywhere....anytime.

6. What is something you keep in a basket?
 I have washcloths and hand towels in baskets in my linen closet.  I have some medicines in one under the sink.    I have a flower arrangement in one in my music room.  That is it for me and baskets.  ALTHOUGH  I am planning on attempting a pinterest project that is a basket and bowl bird bath.  I will post pictures when I complete it. 

7. When was the last time you felt foolish?
I have daily moments when I feel foolish.  No one time sticks out....because I am constantly doing something that is silly.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
I am participating in the A-Z Blog again this year and am looking forward to it.  I love scrambling each day to produce a blog worthy of the letter of the day.  Besides Hodge Podge do you have a meme you enjoy doing?

Hey, It's Okay Tuesday!

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. They have a section called Hey, It’s Okay and will list a bunch of things to be okay about. You're welcome to join in and do something like this on your blog. Doesn't have to be on a Tuesday either. Just make sure you link up and that the post you link up is a Hey, It's Okay Post.

--------------------

To have liked the movie The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Jim Carrey was hilarious.


To be happy that it looks like TA might be reinstated for military members. They shouldn’t have taken it away in the first place.


To hope that the season finale of The Walking Dead is a good one. The second half of the series has been boring. Though I do feel for Merle.


To be ready for Easter. We’re having ham…oh crap, maybe we aren’t ready. I totally forgot to get side dishes! Perhaps I could try to make mashed potatoes without burning them?


To not be ready for Tom to deploy. He’s going any day now and will be gone for most of the year.


To have rolled my eyes when I saw ABC made a show called Splash where so called “celebs” dive into the water. That’s okay. Don’t make quality programs anymore.


To love that Tom’s Mom is crafty. She made this:



And she’s going to make fancy cupcakes. Meaning she doesn’t just slather them with frosting from a can like I do.

Dandelions On The Wind

About The Book: "Tattered relationships and broken hearts, like a quilt, can be pieced together by God’s love.  When Maren Jensen took a job on Elsa Brantenberg’s St. Charles, Missouri farm, she never expected to call the place her home. As she grows to love Mrs. Brantenberg and her granddaughter, Gabi, Maren is transformed from a lonely mail-order bride-without-a-groom to a beloved member of the Brantenberg household.

But when Gabi’s father, Rutherford “Wooly” Wainwright, returns to the farm unexpectedly, everything changes for Maren. Despite the failing eyesight that caused her suitor to reject her, she can see that Wooly desperately needs to reconnect with the family he abandoned when his grief sent him running toward the army—and into the Civil War. She also senses there could be something more between the widower and herself, if either can move beyond their past hurts.   

Comforted and counseled by the wisdom of the women in her beloved quilting circle, Maren begins to discover the cost such decisions demand of her heart. Are her choices in obedience to God, or is she running from His plan? Is it too late for love to be stitched into the fabric of her life?"

About The Author:  “Mona Gansberg married Bob Hodgson in 1972, and became Mona Hodgson 40 years ago. They have two grown daughters, two sons-in-law, three grandsons and a granddaughter.

In 1987, Mona Hodgson began writing articles, poems, and short stories for publication, and has had several hundred printed in more than 50 different publications. Her publishing credits also include four historical novels for WaterBrook/Multnomah, nearly 30 children’s books, and contributions to 11 books for adults. 

Mona is a speaker for women's retreats, schools, conferences for educators and librarians, and at writers' conferences throughout the United States and Canada. She holds professional memberships in the American Christian Fiction Writers, Romance Writers of America, Women Writing the West, Pikes Peak Writers Group, Christian Authors Network, and Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.”

My Thoughts About The Book:  I love post Civil War era and mail-order bride books.   This novella was a wonderful story of hope, sadness, and new beginnings  Maren is a very strong and likeable character.  She comes to life on the written page.  Hodgson is a master at bringing her characters to life.  I have  enjoyed every Mona Hodgsons book I have read and look forward to reading the other two in this series. The Sinclair Sisters of Cripple Creek, are wonderful books. This novella is no different. It has a strong Christian influence but is not overly preachy.  It draws you in and won’t let you go until the last event has unfolded.  This book is a must read. 

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group's review program for bloggers, Blogging for Books.  I was not required to write a positive review. All they asked for was an honest review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.

Jammie Day

Today is going to be short and sweet because this is the first REAL day of my Spring Break.  I should be working on taxes but you know what?  I am not going to today. I have things to do..... I am going to chill and not even get out of my jammies today.  I am going to catch up on blog reading, read a book, crochet, watch old movies and just chill.  I may even drink coffee all day long from the comfort of my recliner.  I am not going anywhere or seeing anyone.  "Tomorrow is another day." 

When Natalie Turned 6

“I’m not 5 anymore. I’m 6!” Natalie exclaimed on her birthday. She jumped out of bed. “Now I can tell all my friends at school that I’m 6!”

She rushed downstairs to check out her presents.



She was like, “An American Girl doll friend!”



And gave it a kiss:



Opened more gifts.



When she got to the Barbie she was like, “Finally!” She had been wanting that one for awhile.



I got Natalie to put on her birthday outfit and take some pictures:





She got more presents later in the evening. Tommy looks thrilled.



And see this cat? Her name is Juanita. We were visiting my parents and she’s very sneaky.



She did this to the cake:



Ahh well. It was still tasty.



“I’m a big girl now!” Natalie keeps saying.

She's back at school after spring break and she says that she can't wait to tell her friends that she's 6 now.

Project 365 - Week 12

It is hard to believe that we are 12 weeks into 2013.  Time really seems to fly when you get a little age on you.  I will be celebrating my 59th birthday on April 15th.  That is just one year away from 60.  Wow...when did I get to be my mom's age?  Fran is our hostess on Project 365.  I hope you will hop over and see what everyone has been seeing through the eye of a camera for the past week.  I am running a bit late with my post this week because it is Spring Break and I am being a lazy bum (not really.  I am working on taxes.)  So here is what my week has looked like.

Sunday, March 17th

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Did you wear something green?  I did.  I did not want to get pinched by the little munchkins at church today.

Monday, March 18th

It does not feel like spring here but at least it is beginning to look a little like Spring.

 

Tuesday, March 19th

Today is my cousin Judy's birthday and would have been my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. 

One of our church members made this picture at Christmas time and I misplaced it.  Found it and thought I would share.  The pretty girl is my sweet Jessica.  We live in their front yard....sort of.  They live behind us and there is a road between the two houses.  I adore this young lady.  She has such a sweet personality.  Thank you Mrs. Sherry for the picture.

 

Wednesday, March 20th

My daughter Kat took this picture and made this framed piece for my mom.  I have had her on my mind a lot lately and had to share it with you."  Kat is so creative and I love getting gifts from her that she made.

 

Thursday, March 21st

"Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see." Hebrews 11:1

 

Friday, March 22nd

Spring Break officially kicks off at 3:14 today. "Let the Good Times Roll.  A duck and a turkey hen from Kimble's yard.  I took them from the car....have you ever been flogged by a duck.  I have and it is not fun.

 

Saturday, March 23rd

My aunt Wanda's mom died yesterday and Amanda and I went to Eufaula today to be with the family.  I could not believe my eyes when we got out of the car at the funeral home and there were azalea's blooming.  The bush was bursting with the pretty pink blooms and I was delighted.  Ours do not even have leaves on them yet.  The first weekend in April is the Pilgrimage of Homes in Eufaula.  If you are ever looking for something fun to do then you must come and do this.  The Shorter mansion is spectacular.  Frank was at school and so tonight Amanda, Johnna, and I went to the auction at Standing Rock.  Frank joined us there about 7ish.  I bought two chairs for the parsonage and a sterling silver bracelet. (My chairs are the two wing back on the far left of the picture).  They are gorgeous and I am happy, happy, happy.

 

Amanda and Johnna came home with some cool stuff too.  I can't wait til the April Auction I have already found some stuff I want.  If you live close enough to come and want to check out what it on the block then go to auctionzip.com and type in #31043.  I would love to see you there.  Wayne and Amy and the Dollars are great friends of ours.  Have a wonderful Holy Week (and Spring Break).
